All,
Many birders turned out for a great morning at NY Monuments. The day
started with a Red-breasted Nuthatch tooting from the nearby pines, many
catbirds whining, and a single towhee calling. Things were slow after
that until the sun warmed us up a bit. We found two Philadelphia Vireos
and then the warblers started. Blackburnian, Black-throated Blue,
Black-throated Green, Magnolia, Black & White, Nashville, Common
Yellowthroat, Pine, Cape May, Redstart, and Northern Parula. Amongst
the warblers was a Blue-headed Vireo (the first I have seen this fall)
and several Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. There were many flycatchers
including wood-pewee, a phoebe, a least, and others that remained
unidentified. Many Blue Jays flying over presumably making the flight
south. I think that's about. It was cold this morning, can the
yellow-rumped warblers be far behind?
